Woman ordered to pay 2 million back after lying on football star about a rape #PassionateSpot

A woman whose false claim of rape sent former prep football star Brian Banks to prison was ordered to pay a $2.6 million judgment in connection with the case.

A Los Angeles Superior Court judge ordered Wanetta Gibson (seen below) to pay a $1.5 million, plus an additional $1.1 million in fees, including for making a false claim and court-related costs.

Gibson was a former high-school acquaintance of Banks in 2002 when she accused him of raping her at Long Beach Polytechnic High School, according to the California Innocence Project, an organization that helped exonerate Banks.

Gibson sued the Long Beach Unified School District claiming the school was not safe and won a $1.5 million settlement.

On February 27th, 2011 Brian was contacted by the alleged victim via a Facebook friend request and private message wanting to reconcile their friendship and as she put it, “let bygones be bygones.” Brian, realizing the opportunity to prove his innocence, falls to his knees, praying to God for an answer. And with that, his proceeded to play the role of interest. They agreed to meet. Brian immediately contacted a local private investigator to video and audio record the meeting.

Gibson ultimately said she lied and made up the story so a judge reversed Banks’ conviction on May 24, 2012.

After 5 years and 2 months of incarceration, nearly 5 years on strict parole and sex offender registration, an electronic GPS device attached to his ankle, and a number of other crazy circumstances, Brian has finally been EXONERATED!

Banks was picked up and signed this year to play with the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons.

SHE SHOULD BE SENT TO PRISON AND SUFFER THE SAME THING AS HE HAD TO ENDURE IT’S GIRLS LIKE HER THAT MAKE IT SO HARD TO PROSECUTE SOME OF THE MEN AND GUYS THAT REALLY RAPE AND HURT PEOPLE SHE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY MORE THAN JUST MONEY.

It’s unfortunate that this happened and as a man when I found out that she was lying I wished that she would suffer the same fate. While this is a popular opinion, it can’t change what was done. I’ll leave her judgment to god and continue to pray for the continued success of Brian Banks. BTW good luck in recovering that money.

"You cant look at me and say I want your life when you fail to cry the same tears I cried, lose the same sleep I lost, bleed the same blood I shed, and pray the same prayers I prayed. You aim for the benefits but fail to understand my struggle. You don't want my life you wanted a handout"

"As a artist I never feel satisfied. I always tend to find incompleteness in something. But the thing is that we will never be satisfied. We're not supposed to ever get satisfied. We should always want more. The minute we stop wanting more is when the blood has stopped running through our veins."
